Electric Soldier Porygon is a banned episode of the Pokemon anime that has only aired once because it allegedly caused seizures in Japan. Because of this incident, the Pokemon Porygon has never been featured in the anime again, and very few people have actually seen the episode in spite of its infamy.

Those who hunt down elusive surviving footage of the episode have come to a startling realization

The Playlist: I have one last question for you. The Iron Giant is a big part of “Ready Player One” and, in many ways, a whole new generation is now getting to experience the character or aspects of it for the first time. How did you feel when Steven came to you to put him in the movie?

Brad Bird: He didn’t come to me. Warner Brothers owns “The Iron Giant,” [movie]. But, you know, Steven gave me my big breaks, all my first writing jobs and directing jobs and all of that were with Steven. So, I owe Steven a lot. And when I heard it was in there I was delighted because he’s one of my very favorite filmmakers, and I’ve studied his work a lot, you know. He’s fantastic. So, if The Iron Giant is gonna show up in anybody’s movie I love that it’s Spielberg’s. That’s just wonderful.

The Iron Giant is portrayed as an unfeeling, mass murder machine. Clearly, nobody told Bird TIG was going to get that kind of portrayal. It's almost like Warner Bros. wanted revenge for the poor box office return of the original film.

I've been there. The first time I tried to beat Sarevok in Baldur's Gate, Montaron got a critical hit backstab and did 70 damage...and was then one shotted by Sarevok with a crit of his own, completely blowing him to pieces.
I ended up reloading (and throwing myself into more grief) instead of saving because I was so pissed at losing a character, even though the game ends if you win!
